Amazing experience was had at this location! We got here on a saturday night (after a yep event) and were hoping they would take our order. They happily took our order but sadly only for take out. So we pkaced an ordere for the veggie pizza and it was super amazing!! The size, the flavor and the crisp crust was absolutely awesome. We stood outside by the iutsoor tables to finish our pizza and had a blast. Was kinda surprised at how good it was to be honest!! We absolutely LOVED IT read more

I can't speak for the atmosphere or service as we got takeout, but the food was incredible! I got the great white pizza and had a slice of the pepperoni/hot honey/ricotta pizza someone else had and it was phenomenal! The great white had a nice tang from the roasted tomatoes and I loved how much sweetness came through on the hot honey pizza. The only thing missing was their wings because I love those from Mellow as well. This experience, like all of our others, didn't disappoint! read more

We went to Mellow Mushroom with a large work group, and everything was fantastic. The staff handled our big party smoothly -- service was quick, friendly, and well-organized. The chicken wings were perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the basil tomato pizza was fresh, cheesy, and packed with great taste. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food, and the relaxed atmosphere made it an easy place to unwind after work. Definitely a spot I'd recommend for both group outings and casual dinners. read more

We ordered it to go through DoorDash. We were staying at the Marriot so it was a short walk. We ordered a build your own gluten free pizza and a build your own regular crust pineapple, ham, and red pepper pizza. They tasted pretty good. The restaurant was very helpful and prompt about getting us our food in a timely manner. I will say that sometimes else was in the elevator and the smell made me and my wife want it. It was a good choice! read more

Had a very positive experience dining at Mellow Mushroom when our son visited. When we ordered he told the server he had a gluten allergy, to which the server replied, "thank you so much for letting me know." The restaurant offers a gluten free crust and there are several pre-selected topping combos from the menu (Kosmic Karma, for example) that can be prepared "certified gluten free." Or, you can choose from their list of gluten free toppings and build your own pizza. On their website they note that they use gloves, aprons and a special prep area for their gluten free offerings. Much appreciated! Our son ordered the Mighty Meaty and found it to be quite tasty. I ordered a holiday drink, the Merry Mule, which included cranberry syrup, house made lime syrup, and Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, and it was festive and delicious. My Great White Pizza was tasty along with the smaller size Enlightened Spinach Salad. My husband got a calzone, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Great food and service, no complaints. We were hungry so only got a pic of my drink! Cheers! read more

Mellow Mushroom - Merry Mule - Pizza Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Just okay at best... I rarely rate places a 2 but... this was necessary. The drink I ordered was good, but wayyyy too strong. Coming from someone who usually orders a double on the occasion that I do drink, that says a lot. I ordered the Grateful Dead drink for reference. It has vodka, gin, and rum. I figured it would be strong, but the blue raspberry is very subtle. I drank half and didn't wanna finish the rest Also, I ordered the meatball sub and the meat was very dry. I asked for extra marinara to dip mine in and it still was dry and tough. My husband ordered the sausage fest calzone and his was awesome. I ate a little bit of his and thought it was great. Our server was nice though and everyone smiled at us and seemed happy, so that was definitely a plus. I would usually order pizza but our server said the meatballs were amazing so I decided to give it a try. I probably should have sent it back, but I don't like to do that... just wanted to put my experience out there just in case anyone else loves a good meatball sub as much as I do. We may come back and try the pizza... may not. The atmosphere was great. Good mixture of music for sure. read more

We've talked about visiting Mellow Mushroom for a while now. Since my wife and I were both off work for the Labor Day weekend, we decided to chose a restaurant in downtown Winston. We found street parking in the area and were actually initially headed to another restaurant/bar. We approached the intersection where Mellow Mushroom is located and decided to stop in. The interior decor and feel reminds us a lot of Kaleidoscope Pizzeria & Pub in Medford, Oregon, which we absolutely love and haven't been to in several years. Kaleidoscope has a Grateful Dead theme which also includes a lot of tie dye. The interior of Mellow Mushroom is similar in many ways and is fun and welcoming. We were seated promptly, provided menus and offered drinks. As we perused the menu and did some research we were surprised to learn they were founded in 1974 in Atlanta, and have approximately 200 locations throughout the US, primarily in the Southeast. Our server brought our drinks and we asked him for his recommendations and inquired about the size of the pizza's. He was friendly and helpful and gave us a few more minutes to make our selections. Upon his return, we placed our orders. My wife was being good and decided to try one of their salads. I knew I had to try one of their pizza's and was debating between the 10 inch and the 14 inch because I was confident that I wanted to have leftovers. In the end, my wife chose the Enlightened Spinach Salad with grilled chicken and I ordered the 10 inch Mighty Meaty with extra sauce. My wife used the restroom while we waited and confirmed that it was clean and well stocked. Our meals arrived in a timely fashion and looked incredible. We were very impressed. We both enjoyed the experience and food. We kept commenting about the similarities to Kaleidoscope. We also liked the street side of their dining area which allows the doors to open to the sidewalk area and provides an outdoor sidewalk dining experience along 4th Street. It was a good experience, however, I am a pizza connoisseur and although this was good pizza, I would not consider it great. However, we saw other items such as the calzone and various sandwiches and they looked delicious. My wife also really enjoyed her salad and we want to come back and try additional items on the menu, we would also like to visit some of their other locations as well. read more

Very cool spot downtown, with seriously fun vibes, good food, great drinks & service, and awesome artwork on the walls. Had a Guinness, a small great white, 4/20 pizza bites (w/beer cheese) & a medium chicken Q (BBQ pizza). Crust was awesome. Highly recommended. (Guinness is over chilled, but 'tiz a minor flaw.) read more

Food was more than decent - I had a half salad that was fresh and tasty with decent dressing and lots of veggies. I also got a small cheese pizza which I took home half home. Tasted best when hot. Not any identifiable type of pizza but good. Not much is open downtown on Mondays so a good option on a Monday night read more

Pleasant smiles, delicious food, and timely service. My family went on a slow Sunday afternoon, and despite the small crowd, the food was provided in a timely manner, attentive staff, and an environment where everyone is welcome. This is our go-to place for gluten free pizza for our little one. Also, they can make accommodations such as double slice the pizza (16 slices vs 8 slices), or light bake. We requested light bake on our pretzel and cheese pizza and it came out perfect. read more

OK... I have to admit... This review is coming after at least 10 trips to mellow mushroom. Honestly, I would never review Pizza Hut, so I never thought to review the Mushroom. That's not fair to the Mushroom because this is not on the same planet as Pizza Hut. The menu here is varied. That's great because sometimes not everybody wants pizza. So if you're with the group and only some of you want pizza while the rest, want other things, there's more than enough on the menu to satisfy everyone in your party On one of my visits I got meatballs, bruschetta and beer. On other visits, I have gotten slices of pizza... And on others whole pies. Regardless of what you get, the food is going to be really good. I think the mushroom pizza is one of the top five pizza experiences I've had in life. They also serve up a pretty good burger. I am a bit of a pizza snob, and I hate when somebody screws up pizza because it seems so easy to do The people at mellow mushroom know what they're doing. If you're in downtown Winston and you're hungry... You can't go wrong by going here. read more

Came to the location for the first time. Really nice vibe in here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We ordered To-Go. We ordered a medium pizza and when the order was ready the staff mentioned they made the pizza too small. One of the options was to make another pizza to make up for the size difference. I felt this was a solid move on the staff since they saw a problem and were willing to solve it. Thanks for the nice gesture. We ordered the Holy Shiitake pizza, wow this was such a delicious pizza, the crust was so addictive. Outstanding pizza. Will come back! read more

Amazing Pizza, Great Atmosphere, 70s Vibe Stumbled upon this super cool pizza place while visiting Wake Forest. The decor was very 70s - very fitting with the name- reminded us of Pizza Planet from Toy Story (without the annoying arcade games). The bar had a very retro feel. There was plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor. Service was great, super friendly and helpful. The pizza was amazing! Perfect sauce to topping ratio. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Winston-Salem area. read more

We order from mellow mushroom frequently for takeout/delivery. Who doesn't love a pizza night at home. But, we decided to venture out and get out this time. What they lack in service makes up for in food. It was a quiet weeknight with not patrons. Our waitress was young, and perhaps she didn't like the idea of serving a feral 1.5 year old; but maybe she could have pretended better. The food took a long time, we ordered 1 pizza and a salad. The baby was actually quite calm for the first bit while we waited which I was grateful for but and being younger the waitress probably didn't realize babies move at lightning speed and setting a thing of vinagrette in front of him would encourage him to test these quick reflexes and unleash his feral tendencies to dump the entire dressing on himself but I appreciate her quick action to bring us cloths. The car still smells like vinaigrette from his stroller . The food was excellent, as always but a refill would have been nice, especially seeing as it was a slow night, and the employees were all just hanging around the register chatting most of the time. Will we be back? Yes. We love pizza and their specialties are delicious. Will we eat in restaurant? Probably not. read more

It was our first time to this chain as we were staying down the street at the Embassy Suites. The inside is fun and the atmosphere is pretty cool. We walked in at 6 PM on a Friday night during a bike run and we're seated immediately. Our waiter came up to us right away, and was very attentive. Took our drink orders - but took about 15 minutes to get them, so we ordered a second round right away. We ordered the wings and they were AMAZING. So tender and the flavor was incredible. We shared the Buffalo chicken pizza for dinner. I thought it was good and had great flavor with the onions and bacon. It did have a lot of crust around the ends (and not much of the toppings)- but that seems to be their style of pizza. All in all it was a cool place in DT WS! Giving a 4-star bc they were out of many of the different tequilas that make the margaritas different on the menu and drinks took quite awhile. read more

I have eaten here a few times over the years. Very popular place with a wait list on the weekends to get in. Located in downtown right on 4th street. It's street parking or parking deck, if you drive in. The pizzas are good. Solid 4 stars. I personally think there are better options close by but Mellow Mushroom is pretty solid. Good draft beer selection. Service is very good. Restaurant is clean. read more

Been in here a couple of times now. Haven't been to any other locations that I'm familiar with, but this one is very nice and clean inside with a trendy ambiance. I've sat at the bar both times just for a beer, but the staff has been friendly and attentive both times. I haven't eaten the food, but everything looks good, from what I've seen others have and smells delicious too! I'm sure I wouldn't be disappointed to get a calzone from here! read more

Bestie and I were in town for the Bookmarks Festival and pizza at Mellow Mushroom was recommended to us by our Uber driver. We stopped in for lunch on a Friday late morning (~11:30) and was seated immediately. Restaurant was fairly empty for the time. There were so many things we wanted to try! MM has an amazing menu for both food and drinks. We ended up with the Spinach Artichoke Dip and the Kosmic Karma Pizza. The dip was so cheesy and creamy that I felt like I was in a commercial where the cheese strings never ends! The garlic toasts it comes with enhanced the dip flavor and was a perfect pairing. The pizza was LOADED and what was amazing was how FRESH the ingredients were. You can taste how fresh and juicy the tomatoes were s- I wouldn't be surprised if they were picked right out of their backyard garden (if they had one). Aw man, the basil drizzle was the icing on the cake - or rather pizza. We actually ended up coming back the next day because it was drizzling during the festival and we wanted a quick bite indoors. It seems like a lot of the restaurants nearby opens really late and there aren't too many open options. We just wanted a quick hoagie and this place was packed at noon on a Saturday! Not surprised but we ended up eating at the bar to make our meal faster. I got a half Italian hoagie and TBH - it was too much meat for me. I ate it all though because I was starving. The sangria was OK but this place still deserves 5 stars. read more

Good food. Great service. We were part of a large group. Our server was awesome. Good came out quickly and was hot. Great drink specials (mimosas). I orders the Italian sub. It was good.

The service is always horrible here and the waitresses ignore you. The restaurant always stinks and the food is terrible. I have given this place multiple chances in hopes that I caught them on a bad night but the place is truly just a dumpster fire. The pizza is awful and the appetizers are nothing to brag about, mediocre is being kind. Not to mention the tacky dated decor that's from like 2011. Be prepared to wait 30 plus minutes after an awful dining experience to finally get the tab. read more

I am not sure why but this location for Mellow Mushroom just has a weird - non-Mellow Mushroom vibe. The food is good but the Greensboro and other locations seem better. Maybe it's the weird flow of the room-with a front section separated and just an overall strange layout. There are so many other food choices in Winston-Salem so I will stick to their Greensboro location. read more

Yum! Whenever we come here I am not disappointed. The service is always great and the food is always fantastic! We have been here quite a few times and have never had and off visit. While not a locally owned spot - this place gives off all the right vibes you would expect of a low key neighborhood pizza place with a bit of a fun twist. There is something for everyone on the menu including vegan and gluten free options! We have had many of their appetizers before, but the sweet chili wings have got to be one of my favorite things I've ever had from there. Such a unique flavor with just the right amount of spice! read more

This place is so quirky and cool. They make amazing hand tossed pizza with all kinds of weird flavor combinations. Nice airy, chewy crust which most places can't master. The team is always very polite and despite the dining room almost always being busy, they're very attentive. We had the Holy Shiitake pizza and the Kosmic Karma.
